The mistress is mighty, bringing 88 dowries to flatten the Marquis's mansion

Mother Lai took the letter and left. After Ruan Shuyan washed up and had breakfast, she went to Xie Yuchun's yard.

"But is it about the border?"

Ruan Shuyan nodded slightly: "The emperor wants my husband to go, but has he said when he will leave?"

"Not yet, but it should be in the next few days."

Ruan Shuyan seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked, "Do you want me to prepare things for your husband to travel?"

"Then it's Mrs. Lao's turn."

At this point, Xie Yuchun paused for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid that Madam will be worried about my mother's birthday."

Ruan Shuyan smiled. This was because she was afraid that Old Madam Xie and the second branch of the Xie family would cause trouble. Xie Yuchun had prevented the disturbance before, but that didn't mean she would be afraid of this kind of disturbance.

"Don't worry, my husband. It will be fine."

The two looked at each other and saw deep meaning in each other's eyes.

Not long after, Xie Yuchun left because of external affairs.

As soon as Ruan Shuyan returned to the yard, Mother Lai handed her a letter.

"This is?"

Mother Lai smiled and said, "It was sent by the Second Young Master. The Second Young Master and the Young Lady really have a tacit understanding."

Thinking of the letter she sent this morning, Ruan Shuyan was a little amused. She took the letter, opened it, and after reading the contents, the corners of her mouth suddenly curled up.

Mother Lai was watching from the side and knew that the letter was about good things, so she deliberately asked, "But has the Second Young Master made any good progress?"

“It’s really good progress.”

Ruan Shuyan closed the letter with a smile. At that time, the two brothers went south. When the road in the south was paved, the eldest brother came back first.

Now that he thought about it, Huo Xiao's decision to go to the north again would free them from the shackles of Prince Duan's Mansion and the Lin family.

But before that, she had to resolve the issues in the capital first, especially in the North City, she had to make things clear.

After making up her mind, Ruan Shuyan began to make arrangements. In just two days, she had explained everything about North City.

"That's how it is. If you have other problems in the future, you can come to me. I will do my best to solve them for you."

The people in North City never expected that the emperor would get involved. After hearing Ruan Shuyan's words, they couldn't help but exchange glances.

The third brother couldn't help but ask, "Miss Ruan, is this confirmed?"

"Yeah, sure."

After getting a positive answer, the third brother panicked: "This... is it possible that there will be some accidents?"

Ruan Shuyan smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. The emperor has been worried about the North City for a long time. Now that there is a result, the emperor will not allow any accidents to happen."

The third brother couldn't help but sigh, and suppressed the embarrassment on his face: "Miss Ruan is right, but I still feel a little uneasy."

Ruan Shuyan's eyebrows curved slightly, she chatted with the third brother for a while and then returned to the Xie family. As soon as she entered the door, she was told by the doorman that Xie Yuchun and Xie Yurui had started arguing.

"He is sitting in the hall."

Ruan Shuyan was puzzled: "What are you arguing about?"

"The old lady's birthday."

After these words were spoken, Ruan Shuyan frowned. The matter had already been confirmed, so why bring it up again?

She suppressed her thoughts and rushed to the hall as quickly as possible.

In the hall, Xie Yuchun and Xie Yurui were sitting on either side.

As soon as Ruan Shuyan appeared, Xie Yuchun focused his attention on her: "You're back. Have you dealt with the things outside?"

"Ah."

Ruan Shuyan nodded, turned her eyes away, walked over and sat down opposite the two of them.

"I noticed that there seemed to be some dispute between my husband and my second brother. I wonder what it was about?"

Xie Yuchun said calmly: "Just some small things."

Don't you want to say it?

Ruan Shuyan lowered her eyes and saw that there was no tea next to either of them, so she called the maid and asked her to bring three cups of tea.

Her leisurely attitude stunned Xie Yuchun and Xie Yurui for a moment, but they also knew that Ruan Shuyan didn't say anything because she was concerned about her face.

Soon, the tea was served.

Ruan Shuyan picked up the teacup and saw that the two men didn't move. After a little thought, she guessed what they were thinking.

"My husband and my second brother, don't worry about me. Today is a rare opportunity, so let's talk about everything, so that we don't get confused in the future and cause more misunderstandings, which would be inappropriate."

Xie Yuchun coughed lightly and said, "Madam, you misunderstood. My second brother and I just have different ideas about one thing. There will be no misunderstanding."

Ruan Shuyan smiled but said nothing.

The two sides were in a stalemate when Madam Xie's personal nanny arrived.

"The old lady asks the three of you to go to Qingfeng Courtyard."

A moment later, three people appeared in Qingfeng Courtyard.

Old Madam Xie held the teacup in her hand, seemingly uninterested in anything. She let the three of them stand there for half an hour before she exchanged glances with them.

"At my age, I'd rather not celebrate my birthday."

As soon as these words came out, Xie Yurui jumped up first: "Why not? Mother, this is..."

Old Madam Xie sighed and interrupted him: "So what if it's over? If a birthday causes discord among brothers, how will our Xie family's reputation be lost if it gets out?"

Xie Yuchun said, "There is no discord between the two of us."

Xie Yurui glanced at him, nodded and said, "Yes, we just had some minor disagreements. Mother, the invitation has been sent out. Your birthday is in a few days, so you don't have to worry about those unfounded things."

Old Madam Xie stroked the teacup and said, "I don't want to worry about it either, but with the current situation of the Xie family, how long can my old bones last? My son is not like a son, and my daughter-in-law is not like a daughter-in-law. I might as well die sooner rather than later, so that all of you can be satisfied."

The more she spoke, the gloomier Madam Xie's face became. In the end, she even put down her teacup and wiped the corners of her eyes with her hands.

Xie Yurui stepped forward and said, "Look at what mother said. We respect you so much that we can't wait for you... Big brother, please talk to mother quickly and tell her that you won't annoy her again in the future."

"What's the point of telling your eldest brother all that? I'm not a good mother, so how can I raise my child to be a good person? You have to make trouble even on a birthday. Ah, I feel so uncomfortable, my heart hurts so much..."

Old Madam Xie pounded her chest and kept looking at Xie Yuchun.

Xie Yurui supported her and turned around and shouted, "Someone, please call the doctor."

Qingfeng Courtyard was in a panic, and Old Madam Xie and Xie Yurui kept talking.

But both Xie Yuchun and Ruan Shuyan did not speak. Their equally indifferent eyes actually made the chaos in the room disappear little by little.

Just then the doorman ran in.

"Sir, someone from the palace has come to ask you to come in."

Xie Yuchun's face changed slightly. He glanced at Old Madam Xie and Xie Yurui beside the bed and became hesitant about leaving.

"Husband, go quickly."

At this time, Ruan Shuyan said: "I'm here."

After a brief look at each other, Xie Yuchun nodded slightly: "I'll be back as soon as possible."

As soon as he left, the doctor arrived, but Ruan Shuyan stopped the doctor.
